Lu Cheng was a little puzzled by Shen Ran's coming out of the toilet after so long.

Has he never been out of the bathroom?

If he didn't get out of the bathroom, how would he look for evidence?

No, he must have gone out.

However, he found evidence outside why he returned to the toilet and signaled the police to go to the toilet.

The evidence was not easy to move, it would be contaminated, and he could not have been unaware. Could it be that the evidence is in the toilet?

Lu Cheng walked to the door of the toilet and glanced inside, it was a clean toilet, and he didn't see anything else.

"Where's the evidence?"

Shen Ran didn't reply immediately, he walked to the edge of the pool, bent down slightly, pointed to the shadowy part under the pool countertop, and said unhurriedly: "Here, there is a long hair, which should be left by Chen Yuwen." ”

After hearing what Shen Ran said, everyone stood there in surprise as if they were frozen.

Including Lu Cheng, as well as Zhou Haoxuan.

It was the two of them who reacted first, and in only half a second, Lu Cheng and Zhou Haoxuan moved.

The two of them walked in the direction of the pool, and Zhou Haoxuan's steps became faster and faster.

At this time, Lu Cheng stopped, and as soon as he raised his hand, Xiaomei and the fat man immediately understood, and the two of them stepped forward together and grabbed Zhou Haoxuan from behind, one left and one right.

"Zhou Haoxuan, you are suspected of the disappearance of Chen Yuwen, and now you need to cooperate with the investigation." When the two of them acted, Lu Cheng's instructions were also said synchronously, and he took out a pair of handcuffs.

All these actions happen in a fraction of a second.

Within a second, Zhou Haoxuan went from being the host who was entertaining guests just now to a suspect whose movement was restricted.

After Zhou Haoxuan indicated that he would not make any further moves to exceed the rules, Lu Cheng put down the handcuffs in his hand.

At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that even if Shen Ran testified against Zhou Haoxuan, this was not enough to constitute clear evidence.

This is unverified suspicion.

And it's really hard to say who to believe when you hear this, Zhou Haoxuan's reaction when he stepped forward quickly just now certainly felt a little abnormal, but Shen Ran relieved himself in the toilet, and then saw a long hair and said that it was the victim's hair. So maybe it was the girl who came to stay with her? Besides, who can be sure at first glance that it is a woman's hair, thinking about it like this, it feels even more unreliable for Shen Ran.

Lu Cheng did not favor anyone, and only said objectively: "Now someone has identified this as the hair of the missing girl, and we need to bring it back for examination." Zhou Haoxuan, do you have any explanation for this hair? ”

The fat man stood beside Zhou Haoxuan, staring closely at his every move, while Xiaomei took out the latex gloves and transparent bag she had been carrying with her and carefully picked up the hair.

Lu Cheng took out his mobile phone, took a photo, and left the bottom.

Zhou Haoxuan and Shen Ran were like two witnesses, quietly watching the scene happening in front of them.

Shen Ran raised his eyes to look at Zhou Haoxuan, he looked at what was happening, his eyes were a little incredulous, a little depressed and empty, but the breathing and state of the whole person were still in a relatively calm state.

It was as if everything happened suddenly, but it was already within his expectations, not beyond the limits of what he could bear, and not out of control.

It's just that it happened, and everything was natural, just reluctantly.

After being silent for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth to answer Lu Cheng's question: "There is no explanation. ”

Everyone was amazed again.

Lu Cheng also turned his head to look at him again.

So, is the hair really Chen Yuwen's?

Because you know that sooner or later it will be tested, you simply admit it?

Is this the case?

Everyone subconsciously felt a little happy, but quickly calmed down again.

Things don't seem to be simpler, but more complicated.

Why didn't Zhou Haoxuan have a single explanation or justification?

Shen Ran, how did you find this hair?

Zhou Haoxuan didn't care about the atmosphere surging between several people at all, he just raised his head, looked at Shen Ran in front of him, and said, "But it's not me." ”

His gaze was aimed at Shen Ran, but the meaning of his words was also to Lu Cheng.

The hair thing, he did not explain, nor did he deny.

The only excuse is the latter sentence, "But not me." ”

This sentence has no beginning or end, what is he saying is not him, he will never say that the hair is not his! That is, it wasn't he who did it?

That is, he admitted that it was the victim's hair, and he probably knew what happened to the victim, but he did not do it?

There's a lot of information in that.

The first is that he knows something, something related to the case, and secondly, he denies that he did it.

Lu Cheng quickly flashed these two meanings in his mind.

A further question is what exactly he knew, and if not what he did, who, and how much was he involved in it?

At this moment, Shen Ran was thinking about another question.

"We will take the hair to the police station for examination, and please cooperate with our investigation."

Zhou Haoxuan didn't argue anymore, he still maintained his gentleness and demeanor, and seemed to have calmly accepted his suspicion, or was confident that his suspicion would not be confirmed, and he would soon regain his innocence.

Just as the fat man escorted Zhou Haoxuan to the bathroom, Shen Ran spoke.

He looked at Zhou Haoxuan's back and asked, "Are you Zhou Haoxuan?" ”

This question once again confused several people at the scene.

The mystery of how Shen Ran found the strand of hair just now has not yet been solved, and a question has once again pushed everyone into a new fog.

Who is this person not Zhou Haoxuan?

Didn't everyone know about this when they started investigating in the morning?

Is there even a question about this?

"He's ...... Zhou"

The fat man was about to answer for him, but in a blink of an eye, Lu Cheng and Xiaomei were still quiet and didn't speak, so he immediately stopped talking. Turning to self-doubt, I thought about the question: Is there any doubt about this matter?

Zhou Haoxuan was also the same as Lu Cheng and Xiaomei at this time, turning his head and looking at Shen Ran quietly.

He was also a little surprised by Shen Ran's question. But soon, he understood the question, he turned around, looked at Shen Ran, and replied, "I'm Zhou Haoxuan, and it's not." It's not a long sentence, but it sounds meaningful. After saying this, he looked around at the other people who were looking at him, and only added lightly: "I can't explain, you are police, you can check my identity yourself." ”

Then he turned back again, no longer ready to explain the question.

"You said it wasn't you, didn't you just want someone to believe that you didn't do it?" Shen Ran shouted Zhou Haoxuan again. "I can understand, you can talk to me."

Zhou Haoxuan really stopped.

He was stunned for a long time before turning his head again, and he stared at Shen Ran with an unprecedented look of surprise and emotion.

"You ......" Zhou Haoxuan became curious about one of their police officers for the first time. He wanted to ask, how did Shen Ran know?

Shen Ran was one step ahead of him and asked rhetorically: "You said you didn't do it, who would it be?" ”

Zhou Haoxuan stood there, seemingly not knowing how to argue for a while.

Then, he replied in a sentence that only Shen Ran could understand: "You were deceived by him, what he said is not true." ”

The few people standing on the side were already like hearing the heavenly book at this time, and they couldn't understand the conversation between the two of them at all, every word was in Chinese, but how could they not understand it when they were put together?

Lu Cheng also quickly pieced together the logic of their words in his mind, but no matter how agile and rigorous his thinking was, it was difficult to figure out the connection between the sentences before and after this conversation.

Where did Shen Ran go just now, and what did he know?

Lu Cheng wanted to talk to Shen Ran immediately.

But he knew that he couldn't interrupt the communication between Shen Ran and Zhou Haoxuan now, as long as the conditions permitted, he wanted to let them talk as much as possible.

But Shen Ran was silent at this time.

He didn't know what Shen Ran was thinking, but their work couldn't be stopped.

"Fatty, take people to the police station in a moment. Shen Ran, you ......"

"I'll go too." Shen Ran said.

"Good. Xiaomei, you stay here first, and I'll send someone here again later. Here we need to do the blockade first. When Lu Cheng made these arrangements, Zhou Haoxuan did not raise any objections.

"Wait a minute. Zhou Haoxuan, you still have something to tell us. Shen Ran seemed to remember something, and stopped Zhou Haoxuan again.

"What do you want to know?" Zhou Haoxuan's tone was calm.

No one knew why Shen Ran was in a hurry to ask questions at this time, and they couldn't wait for them to talk when they arrived at the police station.

"In addition to Chen Yuwen, there is another person whose whereabouts are also related to you."

Everyone looked at Shen Ran and Zhou Haoxuan, expecting to continue to find out unexpected information related to the case from their conversation.

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Haoxuan asked rhetorically.

Seeing that Zhou Haoxuan didn't want to speak out by himself, Shen Ran said: "If I didn't guess wrong, your father, who disappeared, should be missing now." This also has something to do with you, right? ”

"Just now, I saw his father......" As soon as Lu Cheng heard Shen Ran's words, he immediately thought that Shen Ran had been in the bathroom just now and didn't come out, so he didn't see Zhou Haoxuan's father, maybe there was some misunderstanding.

But he changed his mind, but suddenly stopped.

The unfinished sentence hung in the air, echoing in his head.

I had seen his father, but only at a glance......

Don't?

Shen Ran's determined eyes still did not change, and he was still staring at Zhou Haoxuan in front of him.

"Xiaomei, you go up to take a look at his father, is he still asleep in the room? Zhou Haoxuan, if we can't open the door, don't blame us for sabotage. ”

After saying this, Zhou Haoxuan already understood what Lu Cheng was going to do, and he said lightly: "The door is not locked, you can open it." ”

Earlier, he saw that the door of his father's bedroom was not closed, and let Lu Cheng enter the bedroom at will, he did want to lock the door at that time, but when he saw that Lu Cheng had come out, he gave up temporarily.

Xiaomei went up to the second floor and knocked on the door of the master bedroom, but no one answered the door, so she unscrewed the handle and pushed the door in.

"Ahh An exclamation rang out in the room.

It's Xiaomei's voice.

"Marine, the man is dead!" She rushed out of the room, screaming down from the edge of the hallway.

Everyone looked up at her. Lu Cheng's eyes widened, looked at her, and then looked at Zhou Haoxuan.

Zhou Haoxuan's expression was still calm, obviously not surprised by the current situation.

"My face is already blue, my breath is gone, and I still have a ......peculiar smell on my body," Xiaomei continued to describe, and Lu Cheng rushed up to the second floor and entered the house to check the situation.

In this brief moment, Lu Cheng had already replayed in his mind several times the scene when he had entered the bedroom by himself.

The elderly man, Zhou Haoxuan's father, lay peacefully in the futon, breathing evenly and slowly, his face was not blue, and there was no smell on his body.

If judging by the impression just now, this man is not dead, why is he dead?

When did he die?
